Executive Summary

Eula ISD will provide leading and
exemplary technology to students and staff while also being fiscally
responsible. Technology is a valuable tool that will be used to enhance the
learning and teaching opportunities at Eula ISD. This plan outlines four goals
of Eula ISD and how these goals will be implemented. The goals and objectives
were taken directly from the Texas STaR chart and STaR chart results for Eula
ISD.

Needs Assessment

Assessment
Process:100% of Eula ISD teachers have completed the STaR Chart.
The data compiled from the STaR Chart has been used to determine Goals and
Objectives for this plan. Meetings with a Technology Task Force from each campus
have provided the insight for activities to meet the goals and objectives. The
technology director has aggregated all of the information from the STaR Charts
and Technology Tasks Forces into this plan.

Existing Conditions:Currently every classroom has
high-speed Internet. Our Internet speed for all campuses is 100 megabits. The
school district is tied to the regional service center through a wireless
solution.

The teacher to computer ratio is 1-1 with most teacher
computers being less than 3 years old. Most teachers have limited access to
projectors, laptops, hand-held whiteboards and carts.

The student to
computer ratio is 2-1. Most of the computers are less than 3 years old. Thin
client technologies are being implemented to expand the number of computing
devices while keeping costs down.

Technology Needs:Teaching and Learning - As a whole, the
district is a Developing Tech District. Students need more access to
technologies. Teachers need more training in existing technologies as well as
exposure to more options. Web based teaching opportunities need to be expanded
both for teachers and students.

Educator Preparation and Development -
As a whole, the district is a Developing Tech District. More training on how to
integrate technology into the classrooms and well as more technology to be
integrated is needed.

Leadership, Administration and Instructional
Support - While the scores were better in this area, the district still fell
into the Developing Tech area. Teachers are requiring more planning and support
for their technology needs before we will be able to move to the next level.

Infrastructure for Technology - Again, as a whole, the district fell
into the Developing Tech range. Teachers want more technology in their
classrooms. Infrastructure needs to be improved to limit redundancy of services
and move funds into the classroom.

Goals, Objectives, and Strategies

GOAL 1: Teaching and
Learning-Utilize technology as a tool to foster improvement in academic
achievement, curriculum integration, and increased accessibility and
innovation.

OBJECTIVE 1.1:

Technology will be available for all students to
choose the best tools to analyze and synthesize data to make informed
decision, communicate knowledge and understanding of content, and share
results with peers and others outside of the classroom.

Laptops, AV equipment, video cameras, projectors and
digital cameras will be available for checkout through the libraries in
sufficient quantity for all teachers to have access when needed.

Evaluation

Evaluation Process:The
Technology Task Force will be responsible for monitoring the implementation of
the Technology Plan. At the beginning of each school year, a Technology Task
Force will be formed comprised of Campus Principals, Campus Librarian, two
parents from each campus appointed by the Campus Principals, two Teachers from
each campus appointed by the Campus Principals, the District Librarian, and the
Technology Director.

The Task Force will meet bi-annually during the
first six weeks and the fourth six weeks. Meeting notes will be kept as proof of
meetings. At these meetings, the previous year's progress will be evaluated and
modifications will be made to existing plans.

Evaluation Method:Eula ISD will use the Texas STAR Chart
as a means of evaluating progress in technology. All goals and objectives of
this plan have been created using STAR Chart criteria and will be evaluated as
such. Each goal and objective is the "next level" above our current level
according to responses to our STAR Chart evaluations. All certified teachers
will fill out a STAR Chart evaluation annually.

EULA ISD does not discriminate on the basis of sex, disability, race, color,
age, or national origin in its educational programs, activities, or employment
as required by Title IX, Section 504 and Title VI.
